Most golfers are told to keep their head perfectly still. That one cue is quietly making your swing steeper and your path worse.
When you tilt too far left and lock your head in place, the club has nowhere to go but steep and over the top.
Here’s what actually works:
✅ Let your head move slightly right in the backswing - this keeps you in right side bend rather than collapsing onto your left side, which is what steepens the club
✅ Maintain that right side bend into the downswing - it gives the club room to approach from the inside rather than cutting across the ball
✅ Keep your head behind the ball through impact - this is what allows the path to naturally work inside-out without forcing it
The fix is not more restriction. It’s better tilt.
